Sealing Films for PCR and Cold Storage

A 38µm soft non-permeable aluminum foil sealing film with strong medical grade adhesive, AlumaSeal II™ sealing films eliminate the need for heat-sealing devices or mats during thermal cycling. Compared to other aluminum foils, AlumaSeal II™ has less tendency to roll back on itself when removing the backing paper and conforms well to the plate during applications.

Easily pierceable with single or multi-channel pipettors and robotic probes

Heat and cold resistant, recommended for temperatures from -80°C to + 120°C

AlumaSeal CS™ sealing films are specially formulated aluminum foil sealing films with an adhesive that withstands cold storage at temperatures to -80°C. Unlike other sealing films in the AlumaSeal group, AlumaSeal CS™ sealing films are not recommended for PCR or thermocycling. A single non-perforated end tab simplifies application. Simply hold the tab and strip the backing from the body of the sealing film as it lays on the plate to avoid curling.• Recommended temperature range: -80°C to +130°C• Certified DNase-, RNase-, and nucleic-acid-free• Excellent barrier properties to retard evaporation• Easily pierceable with pipet tips or robotic probes ...

A 38μm thick aluminum foil sealing film with 38μm layer of acrylic adhesive for use with 384-well plates. AlumaSeal 384™ sealing films have one end tab with no perforations. Pierceable. Available non-sterile only. Sealing film dimensions are 137.3 x 82.5mm (including single 13.5mm end tab).• Heat & cold resistant, recommended for temperatures from -80 °C to +120 °C • Certified DNase-, RNase-, and nucleic-acid-free

50µm heat-resistant polypropylene sealing film designed for thermal cycling applications. (Not recommended for PCR plates with narrow or irregular sealing surfaces). Length between the perforations with end tabs removed is 123.1mm. ThermalSeal sealing films are not pierceable. For applications where piercing with pipet tips or robotic probes is required for product recovery, see AlumaSeal II sealing films.• Heat and cold resistant, recommended for temperatures from -40°C to +120°C• Easier to apply than aluminum foils, no tendency to roll back• Certified DNase-, RNase-, and nucleic-acid-free• Dimensions: 79.4mm x 135.1mm, sufficient sealing area for all PCR ...

ThermalSeal RTTM sealing films combine an optically transparent polyester sealing film with a strong, ultra-smooth, non-absorbing, non-fluorescing medical-grade adhesive for superior performance in real-time PCR applications. In place of the customary paper backing, ThermalSeal RTTM sealing films have a plastic liner which is easily removed before use and contributes smoothness and extreme optical clarity to the adhesive. Length between the perforations with end tabs removed is 121.9mm.• "Brilliant" ultra-high optical clarity• Heat resistant, recommended for temperatures from -40°C to +120°C• Certified DNase-, RNase-, and nucleic-acid-free• ...

These improved films for classic thermal cycling applications consist of a 50µm polyester film with a 41µm layer of acrylic adhesive. Compared to the original ThermalSeal® films (above), ThermalSeal 2™ films offer better adhesion, reduced evaporation, longer end tabs for easier handling, and less tendency to tear during removal from the plate. Each sealing film offers sufficient sealing area for all PCR plates. Length between the perforations with end tabs removed is 125.1 mm. (Not recommended for raised-rim plates; see ThermalSeal ATM...

ThermalSeal ATM sealing films are an advanced version of the ThermalSeal® sealing films for PCR. ThermalSeal ATM films consist of 50µm polyester film with a 41µm layer of acrylic adhesive formulated for improved protection against evaporation and leakage during thermal cycling. Intended for non real-time PCR applications, ThermalSeal ATM films are designed to fit inside the edge of raised-rim PCR plates and provide more secure sealing of all wells because the center of the film does not extend over the plate rim. Two end tabs ...

ThermalSeal RTSTM sealing films are based on 50µm polyolefin films with 50µm inert encapsulated silicone adhesive. They are optically clear, with low autofluorescence, and are especially suited for real-time qPCR, storage, and protein crystallization applications. The encapsulated silicone adhesive is non-tacky until pressed against the sealing surface, at which time adhesive is released only in sealing areas to form the strongest available heat-resistant seal around each well on the plate. Adhesive on non-sealing areas of the film, such as directly ...

XTR foils offer high performance under extreme conditions. A 48μm soft non-permeable aluminum foil sealing film with 30μm layer of strong acrylic adhesive. FoilSeal™ sealing foils remove cleanly from plate surfaces with no adhesive stringing, residue or contamination. Each sealing foil measures 78.3 x 129mm and offers sufficient sealing area for all plate types (e.g. flat top and raised-rim). Chamfered corners result in no plate overhang for robotics applications. Features one end-tab with perforations. Length between the perforation, with end tab removed and the end of the foil seal, is 118.1mm. • Universal fit for use with all plate types (e.g. flat top ...

XTR films offer high performance under extreme conditions. A 2mil polyester film with a 1.65mil layer of strong acrylic adhesive. eXTReme Seal films remove cleanly from plate surfaces without adhesive stringing, residue or contamination. Each sealing films measures 78.3 x 140.5mm and offers sufficient sealing area for all plate types (e.g. fl at top and raised-rim). Chamfered corners result in no plate overhang for robotics applications. Features two end-tabs with perforations. Length between perforations, with end tabs removed, is 119mm. • Universal fit for use with all plate types (e.g. flat top and raised-rim) • The smaller dimensions and chamfered ...
